DanielCulver All these delicious sounding recipes with coffee and Kahlua are going to start some bad habits, I'm afraid.

SonnyCorinthos ♦ I wonder how these Jello Squares would taste if you substituted the Kahlua for some other coffee-companion-cordial like Baileys or Amaretto?

DanielCulver I made this, this past weekend, sticking to the recipe as closely as possible. Fantastic, everyone liked them and they really do taste like a Vietnamese coffee. Next I will try it with Sonny Corinthos idea of adding a cordial like Amaretto. This recipe is a big win for flavor, and a big win for simplicity. I also think that for the cordial version I will substitute some sugar and cream cheese for the sweetened condensed milk, so more like a coffee cheese cake. Cheers everyone!

DanielCulver I've tried this and it is quite good. I can also recommend adding a very strong chilled coffee to Mexican Horchata.

Mug, Cup, or Demitasse?

Before you reach for your old standby or a favorite mug, take a moment to consider if it's the right vessel for your drink. Extracting espresso into a cappuccino cup or drinking drip coffee out of a latte cup won't do the beverage any favors. Each type of drink has its own set of unique...
